In 4, pp. 22. Senza br. Raro documento originale che sugue gli accordi italo tunisini del 1868 stabiliti con il Bey di Tunisi (trattato della Goletta), accordi che permisero alla cospicua colonia di italiani in Tunisia la liberta' di commercio, la possibilita' di acquisire imoobili e terreni, permettendo loro nel contempo, il mantenimento della cittadinanza italiana e l'immunita' in materia di giustizia dipendendo sempre da quella italiana. Questi benefici vennero in gran parte ratificati con l'avvento del protettorato francese. Pur avenso l'Italia la comunita' piu' cospicua tra quelle europee, proprio a causa della profonda crisi economica che vide il suo apice nel 1869, venne posta , in seguito sotto il protettorato francese.

La brossura originale presenta il titolo impresso al piatto anteriore entro cornice xilografica. PRIMA RARA EDIZIONE. L'opera raccoglie le lettere (qui pubblicate per la prima volta) del grande medico ed archeologo pisano a Francesco Redi nelle quali l'autore escrive ciò che vide e fece durante il suo soggiorno a Tunisi. Pagni segue la tradizione della presenza di prestare la propria opera al servizio del Bay di Tunisi, tradizione ben ancora ben viva durante tutto l'ottocento come attesta l'opera di Bensasson, Boccara, Castelnuovo, Costa, Debbash, Lumbroso, Nunez Vais, per citarne solo alcuni. Pagni fu insigne antiquario, professore di filosofia e medicina nel patrio Ateneo Pisano e autore di un pregevole, tuttora inedito "Comento sopra i famosi Cenotafi pisani". Morì a soli 42 anni nel 1676 dopo aver prestato servizio in Africa. L'opera, qui stampata per la prima volta, riporta le memorie e le impressioni africane di Pagni concernenti la flora, la fauna e costumi della Tunisia. Pagni descrive i cinghiali, i falconi, le acquile, le cornacchie, e tanti altri volatili, i cavalli, i bufali, le cicogne, i pesci, gli insetti e numerosa altra fauna come le testuggini ma ha particolare attenzione anche per i costumi e le abitudini locali come gli sposalizi e i prodotti culinari. Nell'opera sono presenti le descrizioni di numerosi siti archeologici. PRIMA ASSAI RARA EDIZIONE in ottime condizioni di conservazione e ancora in barbe.
